Just when you think it’s safe to say you’ve got a problem sorted, something comes out of the woodwork to spoil it, or in this case something came out of the ground!
A couple of days ago we reported that the problem of bins not being emptied in the Highmore Close area off Coppice Farm Way had been resolved.
Not only that, but that whilst the ongoing roadworks would still be an issue, council officers had had got an assurance off the contractors that they would ensure there was room for the refuse vehicle to gain access to empty all the bins.
Well that was how it was supposed to work! However, late this afternoon (Friday) the phones started ringing in the Lib Dem office. Residents were coming home from work to the site of unemptied bins in-spite of what we’d said in letters we’d put round to the residents a few days earlier.
It would appear that when the refuse vehicle turned up to empty the bins today (Friday), the crew found it impossible to gain access.
Quick action by Lib Dem councillor Ian Shires has ensured that the bins will be emptied tomorrow (Saturday), and an enquiry has started to ensure (keep your fingers crossed), that come next Friday, the bins will be emptied and that there will be no access problems.
We wait with bated breath!!
